!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm completely flabbergasted as I sit here typing. I don't even know what to say......

Let me start at the beginning:

Several years ago we bought Mac a Madagascar hissing cockroach we named Becky. After several months, she gifted us with a WHOLE lotta baby cockroaches. It was quite a shock, but kinda fun too. We re-homed a few and donated the rest to the zoo. When we got home we found we'd missed one, and decided to keep her, naming her Caitlynn. A year later Becky presented us with ANOTHER batch of babies, and we separated Becky and the newly re-named Calvin. Now living completely seperate lives, they lived happily eating peanut butter and strawberry tops.

A few months ago, I noticed that Becky had an egg sack, and I did a lot of frantic research on whether hissers could lay empty eggs, spontaneously give birth without a mate, etc. and found nothing, so we watched carefully, and counted the days, and no babies! Whew.

So guess what I found today? Yup. Babies. In Calvin's cage. We've now renamed them both MARY, and will be soon taking a trip to the zoo!!!

This is Our Story

Once upon a time there was a blog that followed the adventures of a quirky family as they stumbled through their days learning and laughing together. Not quite a homeschool blog, not quite an Asperger's blog, not quite an adoption blog, but all of them at once, spun together in one zany adventure.
